Fragile

My mother was a blind architect, her mother was too

Designin' huge walls no man could ever get through

Born with a brick heart and mortar tongue, they made due

Now the only thing I know is to build those same walls too

Don't you build it too tall

It may never fall

The air's gettin' thin

You're still human, fragile woman

My mother taught me the way to operate a crane, ooh, crane

Carryin' heavy loads with a smile in pourin' rain (Rain)

These walls I'd perfected left me unprotected

From that emptiness inside, no askin' why

Just get out while there's still time, baby

Don't you build it too tall

It may never fall

The air's gettin' thin

You're still human, fragile woman

Armed for destruction

Well, don't you hurt yourself, girl

No, no, no, no, no, no, yeah

Don't you build it too tall (Don't you, don't you, don't you build it)

It may never fall (Oh, never)

The air is gettin', aye, aye, thin, thin, thin, thin

You're still human, fragile woman
